Child Development and Public Health


Today we are going to discuss immunization for children in the United States compared to other countries. While every state has its own requirements for immunizations for children but the government has an input on how everything is handled. Most states give the parents an option on whether they take their children to get the immunization but for those parents that choose not to get their children immunized then those children are not allowed to attend school with certain immunizations. The states feel that the immunizations protect children away from the different diseases that can be a danger to their health as well as others that come in contact with them.

            Immunizations are not required in other countries because they feel that immunizations makes the children suffer childhood sicknesses. There was research done and children in the states are more sick then children in other countries. The purpose is for us to keep our children healthy so why would the government have a say so on why we do or do not have a choice in our children being immunized. The illness that the children in the states get is more recent than the children in other countries that do not get immunizations.
